the one-hour average stack gas values 

measured above the span during the 24- 

hour period preceding or following the

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of May 20, 

2015 (80 FR 28925) (FRL–9927–39), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

announcing the filing of a pesticide 

petition (PP IN–10753) by Exponent, 

Inc. (1150 Connecticut Ave. Suite 1100 

NW., Washington, DC 20036) on behalf 

of Drexel Chemical Company, P.O. Box 

13327 Memphis, TN 38113–0327. The 

petition requested that 40 CFR 180.920 

be amended by establishing an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of tetraethylene 

glycol (CAS Reg. No. 112–60–7) when 

used as an inert ingredient (solvent) in 

pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops. That document 

referenced a summary of the petition 

prepared by Exponent on behalf of 

Drexel Chemical Company, the 

petitioner, which is available in the 

docket, http://www.regulations.gov. 

There were no substantive comments 

received in response to the notice of 

filing. 

III. Inert Ingredient Definition 

Inert ingredients are all ingredients 

that are not active ingredients as defined 

in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are 

not limited to, the following types of 

ingredients (except when they have a 

pesticidal efficacy of their own): 

Solvents such as alcohols and 

hydrocarbons; surfactants such as 

polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 

acids; carriers such as clay and 

diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 

carrageenan and modified cellulose; 

wetting, spreading, and dispersing 

agents; propellants in aerosol 

dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 

and emulsifiers. The term ‘‘inert’’ is not 

intended to imply nontoxicity; the 

ingredient may or may not be 

chemically active. Generally, EPA has 

exempted inert ingredients from the 

requirement of a tolerance based on the 

low toxicity of the individual inert 

ingredients. 

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA 

allows EPA to establish an exemption 

from the requirement for a tolerance (the 

legal limit for a pesticide chemical 

residue in or on a food) only if EPA 

determines that the tolerance is ‘‘safe.’’ 

Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA 

defines ‘‘safe’’ to mean that ‘‘there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from aggregate exposure to the 

pesticide chemical residue, including 

all anticipated dietary exposures and all 

other exposures for which there is 

reliable information.’’ This includes 

exposure through drinking water and in 

residential settings, but does not include 

occupational exposure. Section 

408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to 

give special consideration to exposure 

of infants and children to the pesticide 

chemical residue in establishing a 

tolerance and to ‘‘ensure that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to infants and children from 

aggregate exposure to the pesticide 

chemical residue . . . .’’ 

EPA establishes exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance only in those 

cases where it can be clearly 

demonstrated that the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide 

chemical residues under reasonably 

foreseeable circumstances will pose no 

appreciable risks to human health. In 

order to determine the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide inert 

ingredients, the Agency considers the 

toxicity of the inert in conjunction with 

possible exposure to residues of the 

inert ingredient through food, drinking 

water, and through other exposures that 

occur as a result of pesticide use in 

residential settings. If EPA is able to 

determine that a finite tolerance is not 

necessary to ensure that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from aggregate exposure to the 

inert ingredient, an exemption from the 


rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 176 / Friday, September 11, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 54731 

requirement of a tolerance may be 

established. 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(c)(2)(A), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has 

reviewed the available scientific data 

and other relevant information in 

support of this action. EPA has 

sufficient data to assess the hazards of 

and to make a determination on 

aggregate exposure for tetraethylene 

glycol including exposure resulting 

from the exemption established by this 

action. EPA’s assessment of exposures 

and risks associated with tetraethylene 

glycol follows. 

A. Toxicological Profile 

EPA has evaluated the available 

toxicity data and considered their 

validity, completeness, and reliability as 

well as the relationship of the results of 

the studies to human risk. EPA has also 

considered available information 

concerning the variability of the 

sensitivities of major identifiable 

subgroups of consumers, including 

infants and children. Specific 

information on the studies received and 

the nature of the adverse effects caused 

by tetraethylene glycol as well as the noobserved-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) 

and the lowest-observed-adverse-effectlevel (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies 

are discussed in this unit. 

Acute, subchronic and mutagenicity 

studies were available but chronic, 

developmental, reproduction and 

metabolism studies were not available 

on tetraethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol 

and the higher glycols (di-, tri-, tetra-, 

and pentaethylene glygol) are closely 

related in structure. Their 

physicochemical properties differ in a 

regular and expected way due to the 

increasing molecular weight and 

consistent functionality of a relatively 

less stable hydroxy moiety on each end 

of the molecule. Therefore, the hazard 

profile and dose response are also 

expected to change consistently with 

decreasing potential for adverse effect 

with increasing molecular weight 

(OECD SIDS SIAM 18, 2004). Based on 

this, toxicity data on triethylene glycol 

(which has a lower molecular weight 

than tetraethylene glycol and is likely to 

provide a conservative estimate of 

potential for adverse effect) was used as 

surrogate data to bridge chronic, 

developmental, reproduction toxicity 

and metabolism data for tetraethylene 

glycol. 

The acute oral and dermal toxicity of 

tetraethylene glycol is low. The oral and 

dermal LD50s are >20,000 mg/kg 

(milligram/kilogram) in the rat and 

rabbit. Acute inhalation toxicity in rats 

is also low; the LC50 is >2.5 liter (L)/ 

min. Tetraethylene glycol is mildly 

irritating to the eyes and to the skin in 

rabbits. It is not a dermal sensitizer. 

Tetraethylene glycol did not cause 

toxicity at doses up to 2,000 milligrams/ 

kilograms/day (mg/kg/day) in a 

subchronic oral toxicity study in rats. 

Based on developmental and 

reproduction toxicity studies with 

triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol 

is not expected to be a developmental/ 

reproduction toxicant. Neither maternal, 

developmental nor reproduction 

toxicity was observed up to 3,300 mg/ 

kg/day (greater than three times the 

limit dose). 

Available mutagenicity studies 

included the Ames test, mammalian 

gene mutation, sister chromatid 

exchange, chromosome aberrations, the 

chromatid dominant lethal test, and 

mouse micronucleus assays. 

Tetraethylene glycol was negative for 

inducing mutations and aberrations in 

all of the studies except the sister 

chromatid exchange assay which was 

positive. However, based on the weight 

of evidence tetraethylene glycol is not 

expected to be mutagenic. 

Carcinogenicity studies were not 

available. However, based on the lack of 

systemic toxicity and the lack of 

mutagenicity tetraethylene glycol is not 

expected to be carcinogenic. 

Neurotoxicity and immunotoxicity 

studies were not available for review. 

However, evidence of neurotoxicity and 

immunotoxicity was not observed in the 

available studies. 

Metabolism studies are not available 

on tetraethylene glycol. However, it is 

postulated that the metabolic pathway 

for tetraethylene glycol is similar to that 

of triethylene glycol in that it undergoes 

oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenases 

and aldehyde dehydrogenases to 

generate dicarboxylic acid metabolites. 

Specific information on the studies 

received and the nature of the adverse 

effects caused by tetraethylene glycol as 

well as the NOAEL and the LOAEL from 

the toxicity studies can be found at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

document, ‘‘Tetraethylene Glycol; 

Human Health Risk Assessment and 

Ecological Effects Assessment to 

Support Proposed Exemption from the 

Requirement of a Tolerance When Used 

as Inert Ingredients in Pesticide 

Formulations’’ in docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2015–0214. 

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/ 

Levels of Concern 

The available toxicity studies indicate 

that tetraethylene glycol has low 

toxicity. No effects were observed up to 

2,000 mg/kg/day following subchronic 

exposure. In the developmental and 

reproduction toxicity studies, effects 

were observed only at very high doses 

(≥3,300 mg/kg/day). Further, the only 

effect observed at 3,300 mg/kg/day was 

a minor decrement in bodyweight. 

Although, doses between 590–3300 mg/ 

kg/day were not tested in the 

developmental and reproduction studies 

in mice, the Agency is reasonably 

certain that no harm will occur to the 

general population or infants and 

children following the use of 

tetraethylene glycol at any dose below 

the limit dose given the lack of effects 

being found and the fact that the only 

effect seen was a minor bodyweight 

decrease seen at 3,300 mg/kg/day. 

Since, no other effects were observed, 

the Agency concluded that there are no 

endpoints of concern for tetraethylene 

glycol and a qualitative risk assessment 

is appropriate. 

C. Exposure Assessment 

1. Dietary exposure from food and 

feed uses. In evaluating dietary 

exposure to tetraethylene glycol, EPA 

considered exposure under the 

proposed exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. EPA 

assessed dietary exposures from 

tetraethylene glycol in food as follows: 

Tetraethylene glycol will be used as a 

solvent in pesticide formulations used 

on agricultural crops. Additionally, it is 

used as an indirect food additive. 

For the general population, the 

majority of exposure to tetraethylene 

glycol occurs from the extensive use as 

a FDA-approved indirect food additive. 

Under this exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance, residues of 

this chemical also may be found on 

treated crops. Because no hazard 

endpoint of concern was identified for 

the acute and chronic dietary 

assessment (food and drinking water), a 

quantitative dietary exposure risk 

assessment was not conducted. 

2. From non-dietary exposure. The 

term ‘‘residential exposure’’ is used in 

this document to refer to nonoccupational, non-dietary exposure 

(e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), 

carpets, swimming pools, and hard 

surface disinfection on walls, floors, 

tables). 

Tetraethylene glycol is used as an 

inert ingredient in non-food use 

pesticide formulations and is also used 

as a humectant in cosmetics. However, 

based on the lack of toxicity, a 

quantitative exposure assessment from 

residential exposures was not 

performed. 

3. Cumulative effects from substances 

with a common mechanism of toxicity. 

Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA 

requires that, when considering whether 


rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
54732 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 176 / Friday, September 11, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

to establish, modify, or revoke a 

tolerance, the Agency consider 

‘‘available information’’ concerning the 

cumulative effects of a particular 

pesticide’s residues and ‘‘other 

substances that have a common 

mechanism of toxicity.’’ 

EPA has not found tetraethylene 

glycol to share a common mechanism of 

toxicity with any other substances, and 

tetraethylene glycol does not appear to 

produce a toxic metabolite produced by 

other substances. For the purposes of 

this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that tetraethylene glycol does 

not have a common mechanism of 

toxicity with other substances. For 

information regarding EPA’s efforts to 

determine which chemicals have a 

common mechanism of toxicity and to 

evaluate the cumulative effects of such 

chemicals, see EPA’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

cumulative. 

D. Safety Factor for Infants and 

Children 

1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of 

FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply 

an additional tenfold (10X) margin of 

safety for infants and children in the 

case of threshold effects to account for 

prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the 

completeness of the database on toxicity 

and exposure unless EPA determines 

based on reliable data that a different 

margin of safety will be safe for infants 

and children. This additional margin of 

safety is commonly referred to as the 

Food Quality Protection Act Safety 

Factor (FQPA SF). In applying this 

provision, EPA either retains the default 

value of 10X, or uses a different 

additional safety factor when reliable 

data available to EPA support the choice 

of a different factor. 

As part of its qualitative assessment, 

the Agency did not use safety factors for 

assessing risk, and no additional safety 

factor is needed for assessing risk to 

infants and children. Based on an 

assessment of tetraethylene glycol and 

its chemical properties, EPA has 

concluded that there are no 

toxicological endpoints of concern for 

the U.S. population, including infants 

and children. 

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of 

Safety 

Because no toxicological endpoints of 

concern were identified, EPA concludes 

that aggregate exposure to residues of 

tetraethylene glycol will not pose a risk 

to the U.S. population, including infants 

and children, and that no harm will 

result to the general population, or to 

infants and children from aggregate 

exposure to tetraethylene glycol 

residues. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is not establishing a numerical 

tolerance for residues of tetraethylene 

glycol in or on any food commodities. 

EPA is establishing a limitation on the 

amount of tetraethylene glycol that may 

be used in pesticide formulations 

applied to growing crops. That 

limitation will be enforced through the 

pesticide registration process under the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 

et seq. EPA will not register any 

pesticide formulation for use on 

growing crops for sale or distribution 

that contains of tetraethylene glycol. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is established 

under 40 CFR 180.920 for tetraethylene 

glycol (CAS Reg. No. 112–60–7) when 

used as an inert ingredient (solvent) in 

pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes an exemption 

from the requirement of tolerance under 

FFDCA section 408(d) in response to a 

petition submitted to the Agency. The 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has exempted these types of 

actions from review under Executive 

Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). Because this action 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866, this action is 

not subject to Executive Order 13211, 

entitled ‘‘Actions Concerning 

Regulations That Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive 

Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997). This action does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require 

any special considerations under 

Executive Order 12898, entitled 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

Since exemptions that are established 

on the basis of a petition under FFDCA 

section 408(d), such as the exemption in 

this final rule, do not require the 

issuance of a proposed rule, the 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 

seq.), do not apply. 

This action directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States or tribes, nor does 

this action alter the relationships or 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by Congress 

in the preemption provisions of FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency 

has determined that this action will not 

have a substantial direct effect on States 

or tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States or tribal 

governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined 

that Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999) and Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply 

to this action. In addition, this action 

does not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq.). 

This action does not involve any 

technical standards that would require 

Agency consideration of voluntary
